The Patriots who assembled in The Swamp on January 6 and who have since become political prisoners and martyrs in most cases immensely helped their prosecutors. In fact, I wonder how many would languish in Leviathan’s clutches absent their thorough documentation of their “crimes.” For example,
Garret Miller didn’t speak to the law enforcement officers who arrested him on charges he stormed the U.S. Capitol in January, but the T-shirt he was wearing at his Dallas home that day sent a clear and possibly incriminating message.
Miller’s shirt had a photograph of former President Donald Trump, and it said “Take America Back” and “I Was There, Washington D.C., January 6, 2021,” federal prosecutors noted in a court filing Monday. …
Like many of the more than 300 people facing federal charges in connection with the siege, Miller thoroughly documented and commented on his actions that day in a flurry of social media posts.
After Miller posted a selfie showing himself inside the Capitol building, another Facebook user wrote, “bro you got in?! Nice!” Miller replied, “just wanted to incriminate myself a little lol,” prosecutors said.
And this is typical criminal behavior? Of course not: it’s the innocuous joking around of those later zapped for ex-post facto “felonies.”
On a recorded call immediately after his arrest, Miller told his mother, “I don’t feel that I’ve done anything wrong and now I’m being locked up,” according to prosecutors.
Bingo.
Each time the Feds and media gloat about how easy it is to indict and convict these heroes, they further prove their victims’ innocence.
